Bright manicure for short lengths of nails can be performed in the following colors: lemon, orange, green of any shade, red, pink, purple, and even with black you can create a charming manicure.

But many people believe that it is difficult to choose a beautiful, bright manicure for short nails that will harmonize and look not defiant. However, this is debatable.

Features of manicure for short nails

When choosing a manicure for short nails, you can choose a color palette, focusing on the shape of the nail.

For this length, the shape should be:

• square - especially deep colors with a glossy top will suit her, which will accentuate the shape and visually lengthen the nails;
• round - for this type of nail shape, a monochromatic manicure is suitable, and a matte top will emphasize the depth and saturation of the varnish;
• almond - for this shape of nails, you can combine the color palette as you like, since the appearance allows you to create a manicure in any style.
  

A feature of manicure for short nails is that it requires a more attentive attitude towards itself.

This applies to a healthy appearance, namely:

1. constant care of the cuticle;
2. moisturizing and nourishing the skin around the nails with oils and vitamins for a healthy appearance;
3. the use of baths for nails in order to strengthen the nail plate from the influence of the components of the varnish;
4. timely correction of nails to avoid untidy appearance and chipping.

Such careful maintenance is recommended for all lengths, but especially important for short ones. This is due to the fact that the stress zone of the nail (this is the place where the nail most often breaks), during the application of varnish, shifts to the middle of the nail plate.

When the nail begins to grow back, the stress zone shifts towards the end, and it is more at risk.

On short nails, this happens faster, because the nail is short and the stress zone shifts faster than with long nails. The disadvantage of short nails may be that not all masters agree to do a manicure on them. This is associated with a lot of hard work.

Also, not everyone has the competence and perseverance to apply perfectly even layers on the nails, which do not imply space for creations. For example, this type of manicure with sharp square nails can break off at the ends, because the length does not allow to distribute the vulnerable spots. When choosing a shape, it is better to pay attention to the square shape with rounded ends.

Fashionable colors, shades for bright manicure for short nails

When choosing the color of a new manicure, you should be guided by some rules:

1. what colors are in fashion now? Determine what is relevant for this season, holiday or any other event;
2. what palette suits your everyday wardrobe;
3. Whether this style is appropriate at work or in society.

Having decided on the answers to the questions posed, you can safely choose suitable shades from a rich color palette.

It is appropriate to do manicure according to the season:

• in winter - choose colder colors, diluting with New Year's ornaments, with a small amount of rhinestones and sliders;
• in summer - use warm shades, emphasizing them with rich drawings, rhinestones, graphic images applied using stamping.

Bright manicure for short nails is chosen by girls and women, focusing on what it will be combined with, or under what accessory it will fit. Often it is not just a combination with a certain image, but an emphasis on a certain element.

Multi-colored manicure

There can be many options for a multi-colored manicure:

• using multiple colors on each finger;
• a technique called amber (one color smoothly transitions into another);
• use of drawings of different colors. Each of them has its own characteristics, but in general, the scheme for applying gel polish is always the same:

Adhering to these stages, the masters form the desired manicure based on the client's requirements. If she wants an amber-style manicure, then this technique is done with a brush, or the transition is done with an ordinary sponge.

In the case of using different colors on each nail, the application is carried out according to the technique shown in the table above.

Floral manicure

Bright manicure for short nails has some varieties, for example, floral. It is applied with fine brushes. This method takes longer, but the effect is much more beautiful than from the sliders.

Now very popular flowers made in a watercolor style, when from the base of the nail "grow" several single flowers that match the color of the entire composition.

This application technique is performed step by step, each of the fragments is applied in turn, carefully drying in a lamp 1 time. It is advisable not to draw the whole image at once, it may spread and lose the desired shape. For this, it is necessary to follow the sequence and dry each layer to avoid failure.

The drawing or sticker should be applied to the already dried colored varnish, which was previously applied to the base coat. If the drawing fails, it can be wiped off with dry cotton wool or moistened with liquid to remove the sticky layer. This will help preserve the work done earlier.

Cat's eye

The cat-eye technique requires more tools. Such a manicure is not done on an ordinary varnish, it is necessary to purchase a special one for this type of manicure. A magnet is immediately purchased for it in the set.

The magnet can be of any size, it is he who forms a "strip" on the nail in the form of a cat's eye. Also, when buying, you can choose a varnish from any variety: 2D, 3D, and even 5D. Different look gives different effect, it creates more depth and gloss.

The application technique is quite simple: this type of varnish is applied to the base (in 2 layers), after drying, a magnet is brought to the nail plate and forms the desired ornament. Once it has appeared, it can be magnetized again to make it richer. However, if you are zealous, you can slightly double the drawing.

After the ornament has formed, a top coat is applied in several layers and dried in a lamp.

Leopard ornament

You can also use several options for applying a leopard pattern: using different varnishes that imitate leopard color, or using stickers or sliders. Application with different types of varnishes is very simple, but you need to have perseverance and imagination.

For application you will need: brushes, (preferably not very thin), beige, brown and black varnishes. It is important to observe the sequence of application here, because each movement with a brush should symbolize this ornament and clearly make it clear what is depicted. You can apply several colors at once, the main thing is that they do not catch and do not spread.

When using sliders, it is important to apply them to a base color of a suitable shade. When the leopard-colored slider is applied, there is no need to paint the nail plate green. The slider is applied to the gel polish with the adhesive side on the dried color. Before using the slider, you need to read the specifics of its use: it can be water-based or immediately adhesive.

Fruit manicure

Applying juicy, ripe, mouth-watering berries to your nails is done in a similar way to a flower manicure. It is more convenient for each master to apply this type of drawing in his own way. It can be depicted not only with the help of stickers and patterns, but also diversified with rhinestones, glitter, loose sparkles and even a candy ball.

Quite unusual designs are made when fruit images are added with rhinestones in the drawing itself.

Do not forget about giving a rounded or convex look with the help of shadows, outlining with a thin outline of black. You can also create dew-covered fruits. To do this, you need to apply a drop of the base, which, as it dries, needs to be outlined in white. This will increase it to a believable shape.

Stripes

The strips are glued onto the dried colored varnish. They are sold ready-made, or they can be formed from colored foil, giving them different thicknesses. The more glossy the strip looks and stores a certain ornament, the more attention it needs to be paid at the final stage of fixing.

The strips are attached to colored varnish, covered with a top coat on top. They can also be sold already sticky like scotch tape and stick on top of the varnish on their own, but such strips must be covered with a top. This will ensure their long-term wear and keep them from the effects of the external environment.

Such a manicure can both lengthen the nails in the case of choosing the vertical length of the strips, and visually shorten them if they are glued horizontally.

Manicure with a bow

To draw a bow on the nails as from a picture is within the power of an already trained hand. It is easier for beginners to use stickers for this technique. For a deeper impact of the palette, you can use 3 colors. For example, if the bow is pink, then you can take pink white and black. And with their help, make a volumetric figure using the technique of shadows.

Draw a bow using the thinnest brushes... It is important that there is a separate brush for each color. This is necessary so that the previous layer is not smeared during the application of the new color. A manicure will look aesthetically pleasing if a bright bow is placed on a more neutral color: if it is hot pink, then it is better to choose a cream or white background.

Polka dot nails

Dots (ball nibs of various sizes) are usually used to depict peas. Dots are applied to the applied layer of dried varnish. However, instead of it, you can use invisible ones with such a tip, a cotton swab or the most ordinary ballpoint pen that has run out of ink.

Instead of painting, you can use gluing large, round sequins or small loose sequins like glitter.

Manicure with hearts

Bright manicure for short nails can also be performed with hearts.They are depicted with a thin brush. For convenience, the base of the heart is drawn, which, after drying, is filled with color.

You can use the help of stamping, in which the variants of hearts can be the most painted, which cannot be manually depicted.

If you don't have a brush at hand, then you can draw a heart using an ordinary match.

Gradient manicure for short nails

You can display a smooth transition using adhesive sticky strips. This way you can make the largest possible number of color transitions. When applying a gradient manicure, usually masters mix 2 colors several times to get more shades of the same color.

Such variations can be done on a regular file: a color transition from one color to another will be perfectly visible on a transparent surface.

Card suits

For card suits, it is best to use special stencils. It is not at all easy to depict such shapes with an ordinary brush; it is better to use ready-made sliders or stickers. You can display such a manicure, for example, in the style: "Alice in Wonderland", adding colored stripes to match the background of the cards.

Volumetric manicure

You can add volume by applying more layers. The “knitted style” is quite fashionable when an imitation of knitting is drawn with a brush on the nails, increasing the number of layers for volume. You can display the volume with the help of monograms, again by applying and drying large layers of gel polish.

For such a technique, the masters take a single-phase gel polish or varnish in offset with a top or base. The type of pattern depends on the type of manicure. You can display: volumetric shell, flowers, fruits, patterns.

Oriental motives

A manicure with oriental notes is performed using a special ornament and very thin brushes. Before drawing such delicate patterns on the nail plate, you need to practice on paper. On this topic, you can use stamping boards with appropriate patterns.

Bright manicure for short nails is made deeper and more interesting with the help of beads and sparkles. The more special fragments there are, the more sophisticated and attractive it will be.

Tropics

For a tropical manicure, nails are depicted: palms, cacti, jungles, jungle inhabitants on the branches of vines. Such a manicure can be displayed both manually and with ready-made drawings. It all depends on the fantasy of the person doing the manicure. The palm leaves on the nails have also gained great popularity.

Such a pattern is depicted using the nail art technique, when with the help of brushes of different thicknesses, a kind of pattern of the desired shape is obtained. Various tropical fruits are also suitable for the tropical style, displayed in a more convex style. Bright manicure for a short length of nails can be performed in a variety of ways.

But you should always focus not on fashion, but on what the inner state desires. If there is harmony inside, then outside the beauty of a person will invariably shine and delight others.
